Hightail bundles document delivery with syncing and storage, as well as some basic collaboration. Hightail tries to be too many things at once, however, without really excelling at any of them.

1Spaces

Hightail is an online cloud storage, file-delivery, and collaboration platform. It specializes in multimedia document collaboration, such as images and videos, with its Spaces feature.

2File Delivery

Hightail, formerly YouSendIt, still offers the same file-delivery options it did in the past, such as the ability to track a file that you send to see when the recipient has downloaded it.

3File Sending Options

The sender can also set an expiration date and time for when the file will no longer be available and get a return receipt. Hightail also gives you the option for one-time fee add-ons, such as the ability to set a password on a file to protect it.

4Collaborating on Images

The new Spaces feature in Hightail gives teams a place to host shared visual files and a way to discuss them with comments.

5Sent Receipt

A sender might see an email like this one as a receipt for having sent a file.

6Tracking

Hightail gives you an interface for tracking incoming and outgoing files.

7Hightail Desktop

A desktop app for Hightail makes it look like it's a part of your operating system, much like how Dropbox or Box looks when installed on a computer.

8Hightail Express

Another app, Hightail Express, replicates the core functions of Hightail that you find in the web portal, but without Spaces.
